My mother was hesitant about giving us Harry Potter, so waaaay back when she had me read the books to see what I thought. She's read them all since. My father thinks they're just silly, but considering what he's given me to read he'd have no problem with them. Fer cryin' out loud, they gave me "Dune" to read when I was twelve!
And yet my sibs and I are turning out ok, we're not turning wiccan or anything. Why is that, if Harry Potter is such a powerful lure to the occult? Maybe because they bothered to teach us what's important?
I reiterate again; parents who are teaching their children the way they should go, have nothing to fear. Children who are not being taught so have more to worry about than Harry Potter.
I agree with this statement 100%. But it's hard to find parents who are teaching their children the way they should go. My wife is an elementary teacher. The kids can do no wrong these days, according to the parents.
